"We are all responsible for what happens in our communities."
👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

Was right there with you. The crowd was chanting "shame, shame, shame" and tear gas being deployed was totally unexpected. The crowd was peaceful, filled with groups from 33 of our city's various workers' unions...there were children and elders in the crowd. Totally unneccessary.
Just before ICE tear-gassed the peaceful protesters. 🤬🤬🤬

Forcing ICE/CPB/etc to go unmasked would have a large effect imho. On recruiting, on behavior, on future prosecutions.
